Featured at www.activeimages.com/nightmarist is a movie trailer, preview pages, a Rouleau bio and links to the various press coverage received so far---coverage that will surely grow---once the Nightmarist messes with a few more reporters' minds&#Array; After it hits stores, The Nightmarist gets its first widespread fan exposure at WizardWorld LA on Mar 17.

Brought to you by Active Images, The Nightmarist ($14.99, ISBN: 0-9766761-8-4, 180 pages, black and white interior, color cover) is an original graphic novel written and illustrated by Duncan Rouleau. It is a dark horror fantasy of existential proportions that was optioned by Paramount the moment they saw a story outline and a few preliminary sketches. A screenplay has already been completed and the film is currently in development.

"The Nightmarist super-site was designed by Comicraft's Secret Weapon, John 'JG' Roshell," said Rich Starkings, President and First Tiger of Active Images, "and he's done a bang-up job. As the book expanded and Duncan's story became more and more complex, we decided it needed a special place to call home. That may have been the Nightmarist himself working some influence on me, but&#Array;my mind's a bit blank about the whole thing right now."

When a mysterious figure calling himself The Nightmarist appears in Beth Sorrenson's dreams, claiming to protect her from forces plotting to twist her will, Beth's reality begins to crack. Paranoia and suspicion rise and the support of her friends, family and psychiatrist are called into question. Haunted by horrific visions, while both awake and asleep, Beth must decide---has she gone crazy or have her dreams become ground zero in a battle for the future of mankind? Can she trust The Nightmarist?
